Between Order and Disorder: Ernst Jünger on the Marble Cliffs

February 17, 2021

17February

(From VoegelinView, 16 Feb 2021) There are several examples that help us grasping that particular zeitgeist lived in the first half of the 20th century. A book such as Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain gives us a description of the moral and spiritual decomposition of the then bourgeois society. At this time, in the bashed and defeated post-war Germany, nihilism had turned to be a dominant moral...

Concordia, Concorde, Titanic – Cassandra’s warnings

In Jüngerian Reflections

UPDATE 20.02.2012: as the anonymous commentator below says, with the wreck of the Concordia, Cassandra may be reminding us in a whisper of what she shouted out 100 years ago with the Titanic, and, less obviously, with the Concorde disaster. But what else should we expect in our titanic world: for as much rhetoric about peace and harmony as there is today, titans are by their very nature not a...

The titanic orientation of our contemporary humanity is a theme continually referred to and explained by Ernst Jünger and his brother Friedrich Georg. It might be useful to readers to have their vision applied in simple form to a few concrete aspects of our modern world. According to one interpretation, the etymology of the ancient Greek word “titan” expresses the notion of an...

Neunzig Verweht – Dokumentarfilm über Ernst Jünger (1985)

Einen guten Dokumentarfilm von 1985 über Ernst Jünger habe ich kürzlich entdeckt – “90 Verweht” heißt er in Andeutung auf dem 90 Geburtstag Ernst Jüngers in selbem Jahr. Eigentlich gefällt mir dieses besser als das andere, das man schon langem im Internet finden kann (Ich widerspreche mir nicht, 1977).

I’m going to stray from direct reference to Ernst Jünger here, though it will be in the train of his thinking regarding global “levelization” or flattening of culture. I was in the United Nations building here last week, since I can do duty-free shopping there. Indeed, I have no other reason to go, since the place basically depresses me everytime I visit. Why? Because it becomes...

BP oil spill – the elements unleashed and running riot

The BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico reminded me of a chapter in Friedrich Georg Jünger’s “The Failure of Technology – Perfection without Purpose”, which I have reproduced almost completely below. I hope it may help intelligent readers who want to go deeper in understanding what has happened than is given them in the typical media or environmental analysis. In fact, I...

Technology, principles and sustainability

This blog entry regarding the importance of restraining principles in the exploitation of technology may seem to have little to do with the anarch or Ernst Jünger, however it did emerge from a discussion of whether Jacques Allul was an anarchist or something other. Hence I include it. (I can only imagine Ernst Jünger would agree with Allul’s ideas, since they correspond closely to his...

The Titanic Games

In Jüngerian Reflections

March 22, 2010

22March

I was recently in Vancouver, Canada coincidentally at the same time as the Winter Olympic Games, and it occurred to me that the name Olympic Games is completely inaccurate and even dishonest. Let me explain. One of Ernst Jünger’s key symbols to characterize our post-enlightenment world is that of the titans from Greek mythology. His (and his brother Friedrich Georg Jünger’s) idea is...
